About this wine

Kai Carmenere is an expressive red wine from Chile's renowned Aconcagua Valley, crafted to highlight the character and richness of carefully selected Carmenere grapes. This elegant wine combines deep colour, concentrated fruit, and complex spice notes, delivering structure and a long, persistent finish that wine lovers will appreciate. Why You'll Love It Experience the unique character of Chilean Carmenere with its signature black pepper and spice profile. The lush, ample palate and silky finish make every sip a memorable journey through one of Chile's most distinctive varietals. Vineyards Grapes for Kai Carmenere are sourced from the MAX V vineyard, situated 60 km from the Pacific Ocean on an alluvial plain along the southern bank of the Aconcagua River. The region experiences warm days tempered by cool evening breezes, creating slow, even ripening. The vineyard soils are deep clay to clay-loam with a high stone content, ensuring excellent drainage, while the coarse alluvial subsoil contributes to concentration and minerality. Winemaking The grapes are harvested at optimal phenolic ripeness and carefully vinified to preserve freshness and intensity. The winemaking process emphasizes gentle extraction, maintaining the vibrant black fruit and spice profile, while refining tannins and structure. Tasting Notes Kai Carmenere shows a very deep, intense purple colour. The nose is complex, with aromas of black fruits, black pepper, paprika, rosemary, black olives, incense, and hints of cigar box, dark chocolate, and fresh-roasted coffee. On the palate, it is lush and ample, with good acidity, very fine tannins, and a long, silky finish of remarkable persistence. Perfect Pairings Pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as lamb curry, roasted meats, grilled steaks, or spiced Mediterranean cuisine. An excellent choice for special dinners and celebrations.
